I assume this increase in men being single has led to increases in male loneliness and subsequently the massive chauvinist backlash and rightward shift that’s been happening in S. Korea.
The chauvinism was already there, that’s why they have more male children.
And this is only lvl 1 Patriarchy. At lvl 2 a man may marry as many wives as he wants, and the young single men are just war fodder.
What’s level 3?
sex cults.
so many bowl cuts
The increase of male births can be linked to a historical preference for sons, a decline in birth rates driven by gender selection preferences and advancements in technology, such as ultrasound, that facilitate gender selection, according to the report. The report also emphasized that the prolonged period of a skewed sex ratio at birth since the 1970s has had a significant impact on marriage rates. Regions with high marriage rate imbalances are characterized by particularly skewed sex ratios at birth during the 1980s and 1990s.
So basically a lot of people saw a vagina in the ultrasound and decided quit and restart the level.
Why is there a preference for sons? Is it because they would traditionally get better jobs and take care of their parents or…?
I was told in Asian society the women marries into the males family and basically forsakes her original one. So patents need males to take care of them when they are okd. I dk if it’s BS.
Carry on the name?
I know That’s a fairly common experience elsewhere. I have a cousin who is a fourth of his name. I think he or his wife understood the twisted family dynamic that came with playing favorites like that because they didn’t carry on the tradition when they had their son.
and now they’ve fucked over their preferred sons because in doing so they left them maidenless.
It’s now even before that
I know of two couples that went to get IVF in China/Korea. Both got to choose the gender of the baby - aka they just test and insert the one that ticks the box.
Both couples chose boys.
Isn’t that what people said about China?
This isn’t the only country that’s an example of this.
Fair enough
It’s happening in China, South Korea, Vietnam. Probably you can find more examples.
How strange
India as well.
Since the 1970s, the sex ratio at birth in Korea has exceeded the natural ratio — 104 to 107 boys for every 100 girls.
The short explanation
It would need to be at least 120:100 right
I don’t understand you…
If 80 out of 100 women are in a relationship, we can assume that 80 out of 104 men are in a relationship.
Therefore, 20 women are single, and 24 men are single. In this example, there are 20% more single men than single women.
Interesting in that, flipping it around, there doesn’t appear to be another country with as large a disparity.
Armenia is #1 with 55% women:

Improving relations between China and Russia/Eastern Europe is the solution to both countries’ demographics problems.
Please explain how
Opposing gender ratios, supposing that a gender imbalance were the source of their problems.
Somehow I doubt it’s the gender imbalance that is the issue, as opposed to the underlying socioeconomic situations of each country
You uh … not understand what the word “supposing” means? Nevermind the later use of the word “were”. Where did you get the idea that I actually believe this idea?
Someone asked what another commenter meant, and I explained it. My personal opinion was not solicited, but I implied my doubt anyways. How you and one other missed it is beyond me.
Cross marriage, I have more male and you have more female, lets mingle.
That being said, there are a lot of marriages between Chinese men and Russian women.
Nationalists are going to have a field day
